Do you want to know the man against whom you have most reason to guard yourself? Your lookinir-glass will give a very faint likeness of his face. You will find it less easy to uproot faults than to choke them by training virtues. Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults; in every person who comes near you look for what 1 18 gOUtl UUVl , IIIMIUI IIIUI tirj\nvr ; in it and as you can, try to imitate it; and your faults will drop off, like dead l leaves, when their time comes. It is said that John Wesley was once walking with a brother, who related to him his troubles, saying he <1 id not know what he should do. They were at that moment passing a stone fence to a meadow, over which a cow was looking. "Doyou know," asked Wesley, "why the cow looks over that! wall?" "No," replied the one in trouble. "I will tell you," said Wes-J ley ; "because she cannot Ufok through J ' it. And that is what you must do with your troubles?look over them and j above them." , Accurate and careful detail, the! miudiug of thecommon occasions and i Hfiiall things, combined with general j scope and vigor, is the secret of all the i efficiency and success is th * wo,-Id. It! is only thus that any disciple will be j come ellicient in the service of his m*s-| ter.

I ThIk Short ! ! | Philips Hrook has emphasized in jhis lectured on preaching Hie impoicii j tance of the man hehiud the sermon. er-i I should like to put in a plea for the; j man in the front of the sermon. He' 7 i demands in our day from the pulpit, as in! from all other departments of busy i modern life, condensed worth in small packages. The Ram's Horn writer pithily says that many ministers in ion preparing their sermons prepare no ins P^ee to stop. A small boy said to his mother, "Mamma, may I be a preacher ias when 1 grow up?" The mother, de- 1 lUd lighted at his evidence of piety in her oh- boy who had not heretofore been col<?w spicuous for his attainments in this for direction, said : "Of course you may, my darling ; why do you want to be a is preacher?" Oh, 'cause, mamma, it's 1)68 so much harder to sit still so long and .tie listen, thau 'tis to walk round aud holler." p* I have thought that ministers must 11. HKe men wum muic Lunu uicu ui uiljci occupations, because, while worLmeu ay are every where clamoring fur shorter ,is hours, the minister is deterimed ?o go iu- on, when everybody is anxious for ,x. him to stop. He often destroys, in the 1 ok second tweuty minutes the effect which J uu he has produced in the first twenty. Like the Tower of Babel, his structure ler is destroyed by theconfusion of tongue. We cannot add a cubit to our stature, 1 ne but we can subtract a cubit from our >ut remarks. A mau who had been talk- ' ing a long while at a religious service, was at>out to gather renewed inspira ne tion from a quotation from Cicero, eet ?4oicero says," he began, "Cicero In. says,"?and someone helped him out er- by saying, "How long, O Catiline, wilt ll>' thou ahuse our patleuce?" The minis- : ter who preached till only one was left, i. and said that it was a pity to stop preaching as long as there was any one anxious to hear the gospel, sue- e ceeded far better in scattering his con- 8 gregation, than he did in scattering 1 the good seed of the kingdom Too P w- much wind blows the soil away. What ' earnest and noble words are there of r J. M. Buckley: "The whole art of c ,eJ.f making a good speech is to have some- r 'fr? thing pertinent and moving to say; to s ve say something all the time, to say it c Dd vivaciously ; and, if it is a religious c nj speech, to say it with religious feeling, c ity and to stop when every one wishes * you to go ou." 1 y o \ tie * * < The War Spirit AkhIiinI ChriMtinulty. | on Indeed, it is a most melancholy con- \ eo- sideration that even the civilized, and i on ? may almost justly say the chris- \ llH tianized world from the beginning, 1 iir. should have adopted and still continue t to adopt the military life as an object 1 .if onrr?..p r)p<*irp. and do not shrink hank r JD3 *""O" 1 ? si. form educating the rising generation t in the love of war and strife, and cease 1 'm not to instill into the youthful mind, f er. that it is highly honorable to shed a \ brother's blood.

The time s will come when arbitration will take i the place of gunpowder and keen steel. * So.long ago as the time of William 1 Peiiu the efllcacy of arbitraUou was J demonstrated. He oronosed to come i to America, aud without auy weapons treat with the worst savages. Charles t II. scoffed at him and said, "What! ( Venture yourself among the savages ' of North America! Why, mau! * What security have you that you will i not be in their war kettle withiu two I hours after getting foot on their < shores?" "The beat security in the * world," said William Penn.

"I want none of your soldiers," 11 said Penn. "I depend on something better." "On what?" asked the King ( William Pen 11 answered, "On the , , Indians themselves, on their moral 1 seuse, and on the promised protection j of God." It is a fact iu American 1 history that for seventy years the red ?raen kept the treaty, and it was uot < broken until the white men broke it , Now, if the treaty made between W'il- i liam Feu n and American ravages could last seventy years certainly intelligent nations ought to be able to keep I he the peuce. In most wars the question , at issue is as undecided after as before j* the blood shed. In our war with (ireat 1 Britian in 1812 the question involved 1 U'E was the impressment of American sea- ' . men, Two years and a-half of war ! 0 raged, our Government expeuded 1 " three hundred million dollars and lost 1 thou sands of lives, and the quesion I still remained about t lie impressment of Americun sailors. Some say wars 1 areuecessary to clear oil' the surplus 1 lnHI population of the earth, and had it not been for the hundreds of millions < I slain in battle, the earth would have i iiii- t>een too crowded with inhabitants; but my opinion is that people die fast enough. With the cholera ami yellow < 11 fevers and peueumouias and consump- i lions and typhoids, and the cyclones < and tbe shipwrecks and the earthquakes, the population need not be accelerated.
